Quoted from Ryan1 Hmm, time for some seriously rambling monologues.

Perhaps, but there are other ways to communicate. And, other ways to move a story along.

Quoted from Ryan1 I guess one character talking with clones of himself would be cheating?

Each clone would be considered a character. So, yes. That would not be within the limitations set out.

Thanks, Don.  You clarified it.  No more questions from me.

Being one that adores dialogue, this will be very tough for me.  On the other hand, for many, this will be a huge plus, as we won't have to read page after page of OTN dialogue or dialogue that sounds like it's coming from lobotomized characters in a 70's porno.



You get me?

Special bonus points for using that question at least 1 time in your script.

I'm making it the title!

Quoted from DarrenJamesSeeley I invited some friends of mine (besides SS peepers) over, hopefully we can have a New Writer turnout like we never seen before.

I think I'll do the same with some peeps from a filmmaker forum.

How much warning should I give them about the format Nazis?

Quoted from RayW I'm making it the title!

Triple points for using it as the title.

Quintuple points for also using it as your opening line.

10 times, not sure what the actual word is and don't feel like researching it, for also using it as your closing line.

Ultimate warnings!!!!!!

Is it safe to presume that the others characters can MOAN and GRUNT and make other noises?

Demon sex!

If it is generic moaning and grunting that is fine, e.g.,

STEVEN walks by a pit of MOANING zombies.

I think there is still room in this for a dialogue between characters. It is all on how one pulls it off.

Human centipede rewrite!  Only the doctor can talk!  Lol. Game set and match

The Don, I think you know how in past OWC's, I laugh at the redonkulous questions peeps spout, but I have to be honest in that your quote here leaves me more unclear than before.

If only 1 character can speak, other than grunts, groans, or sign languiage of some kind, there's no real "dialogue", other than the 1 character.

I may form a new language of grunts and groans and symbols.  

A query Don?

Is telepathic communication classed as dialogue? I guess it would be written in italics maybe( in novels they do that) and would still be in be in the dialogue space of a formatted script?

And hand signals are a form of communication too. Or morse code.  Or hand written signs. Hmmm


Jeff, every time you drink a bottle of Jagie you invent a new language. Mostly Swahili

It can be done, if that is the route you want to take. I do not want to sway anyone. Remind me after the challenge and I will give you my take on this.
